The original text was accidentally destroyed, together with all records except the maps here presented and one showing the locations of all studied outcrops (totalling 340); the collection of fossils, except for some graptolites, is still intact. The summary for the A.N.Z.A.A.S. Handbook (Opik, 1954) was compiled from the original text and served as a basis in rewriting the present Bulletin. Because of subsequent building operations, many of the destroyed records cannot be restored. The geological map requires some comment. The map is correct insofar as the visible sequence is concerned; where the sequence is obscured by faults it reflects the author's interpretation to satisfy all the circumstantial evidence - structural, lithological, and palaeontological - so far available. The accuracy of the boundaries is not absolute: small outcrops of weathered, or even fresh, rocks (for example, calcareous mudstones) do not provide all criteria for their formational classification and, in marginal cases, have had to be classified according to the boundary already inferred, and not vice versa; some portions of the boundary between the Turner Mudstone and the Riverside Formation are so treated.Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)ownerCommonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)Manager Client Services02 6249 9966Cnr Jerrabomberra Ave and Hindmarsh Dr GPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiaclientservices@ga.gov.aucustodianunknownunknownunknownGA PublicationBulletingeologythemeAU-ACTEarth SciencesAustralian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC)2008-03-31T00:00:00+11:00publicationAustralian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/1297.0Main%20Features32008?opendocument&tabname=Summary&prodno=1297.0&issue=2008&num=&view=owner9780642483584licenselicenseCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licenceunclassifiedengutf8geoscientificInformationunknown149.0149.5-35.5-35.0Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)02 6249 9966Cnr Jerrabomberra Ave and Hindmarsh DrGPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.audistributor1958-01-01T00:01:00onLinehttps://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/234/Bull_032.pdfFile downloadBulletin (pdf)downloadnonGeographicDatasetGA PublicationUnknownSource data not available.unclassified
